After a long wait – almost six months – a jailbreak method for iOS 6 is finally available, allowing the iPhone 5, the iPad Mini, and the fifth-generation iPod Touch to join the jailbreak party for the first time.
The jailbreak tool is the work of a hacking team calling itself Evad3rs, which announced the release on Monday via …

San Fransico's Finest.

"...gave Americans the right...expired..."

Note to people in other countries: If you wonder why someone would write a "right" has expired, due notice it is written by someone in San Fran. Cali. These people are still breeding out the effect of LSD from 50 years ago, and no know better. Just wave and move on.

As far as the Jailbreak, this is undoubtedly good news for iToy users. Hopefully they don't patch it.

Also in general if you are going to insult a place you might want to spell the name correctly, or else you end up looking like another product of the 3rd world quality education system in Mississippi and Alabama.

More important....It keeps 30% out of Apples pocket and in the developers. That's what really stings Apples seeds.

When visiting or downloading anything from the WWW....buyer beware. Apple is not 100% secure and only a fool would expect someone else to protect their interests. Unforgettably Apple knows there are lots of fools in the world.

So does that mean they can, uh...

Re: So does that mean they can, uh...

You've been able to boot to Android on a 3G for years (omniboot IIRC). I did it on mine when I had one, wasn't much more than a proof of concept as you couldn't use most of the features but it was fun showing arrogant Android lovers that I was in fact, also running Android.

iPad3 ... works

Re: iPad3 ... works

Only issue reported so far, other than the Cydia servers getting DDOS'd by everyone who's just JB'd their phone, wanting to get their favourite hack-de-jour, is the weather app isn't working, though they're aware of it, and were working on it they said.

Best advice: wait a few days before trying the jailbreak

The onslaught of eager jailbreakers is overwhelming the Cydia app repositories, judging by the many error messages being received by people already jailbroken who enter Cydia. This means there is a significant significant danger of failed jailbreaks. Many failed or glitchy jailbreaks are being reported on sites like jailbreakqa.com. Time heals all glitchy jailbreak exploits, so you are better off trying later in the week when the crush has subsided and the evasi0n coders have had a chance to tweak away any glitches.

Why if the article is about anything Apple related its always got 'Fanbois' in the title. There are fanbois on both platforms so its not fair to single one OS out over another. The Register is kind of resorting to playground name calling bullying tactics.

Re: @diodesign

"paid shills" is that what we call normal working people nowadays? Office productivity seems still to be windows with the obvious exception of business's such as advertising companies. I'm not creative enough to work for an advertising company :(

Re: Scott 49

Why?

Surely half the reason for doing this has gone anyway? As far as I'm aware, the UK operators have to unlock a mobile if you ask them. I did mind recently with Three. They charge about £15, mind you.

I believe it was as a result of some kind of national complaint from France so I'd imagine it's the case elsewhere in Europe too.

So that really just leaves the reason for unlocking as installing apps that have a potentially dodgy source? Most of the apps I use regularly were free or cheap so I'm not that fussed about the walled garden or whatever.
